Beyond Restart: Checkpointing for the Exascale Era

In September 2021, the 77th HPC User Forum took place virtually. This update summarizes a presentation from that virtual conference given by Dr. Sean Peisert, computer security research lead and staff scientist and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He provided insights on security in high-performance computing environments, specifically about how emerging technologies and research can advance cybersecurity as an enabling capability as opposed to an impedance to optimal performance or other barrier for users.

The HPC User Forum was established in 1999 to promote the health of the global HPC industry and address issues of common concern to users. In September 2019, the 73rd HPC User Forum took place at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. This update summarizes a presentation from that meeting entitled, Argonne Training Program on Extreme - Scale Computing, given by Ray Loy, ATPESC 2020 Program Director, Argonne National Laboratory.
